Sheldonsoul Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Eddie Parker I'm gone, stone mint was actually jack ash fords copy , think it only went on today and its up tp £ 1824.00 already with nearly 3 weeks left, what's this going to go for ! Betting is it won't stay in this country ?
Dazdakin Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Off to see my bank manager............my opening sell will be " do the research mate, as with most investments your final resale value may go down as well as up....unless it's a minty Eddie Parker, in this case it will only ever increase in it's market value" ....FACT!! Daz.
Nick Soule Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Betting is it won't stay in this country ? If you're thinking of the US, I'm pretty sure that dude already has a copy.
Steve G Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Hmmmm...."Trophy record" of the highest order. 2

Ted Massey Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 What's the point on bidding now with ages to go never seen the point of doing this
Jim G Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I will buy a Euro Millions ticket tonight, If I win, then this baby will be mine! Well I can dream....
Barry Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Eddie Parker I'm gone, stone mint was actually jack ash fords copy That provenance must be worth a couple of grand ay? 3
Guest Seagrave Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Did I or did I not put one up for auction on here on someone's behalf maybe 4, 5 years ago and it didn't reach it's reserve of £4,500? So it's now worth more than double that is it? Some people may not like it, but the biggest dealers with the highest reputations (such as John Manship, Pat Brady, and Tim Brown) have the best web sites, best contacts and greatest exposure. Consequently they continue to regularly achieve prices which others cannot match. Probably better for any competitors not to give the impression of being jealous and resentful, but to positively advertise their own strengths and to work on their marketing. And besides, nothing wrong as a seller in providing a quality product at a cheaper price. Some people like to shop at Harrod's, others prefer Sainsbury's.
Barry Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Probably better for any competitors not to give the impression of being jealous and resentful I don't think he was Seagrave. 1
Guest Seagrave Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I don't think he was Seagrave. Fair enough. In which case the simple answer to his question is probably 'yes'. But all will be revealed at the end of the auction (or even before!).
sir cumference Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Do we have a definitive(ish) quantity of how few there actually are?
Guest Brooky Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 What's the point on bidding now with ages to go never seen the point of doing this ================================================================================== To ensure some other 'git' doesn't get it cheap perhaps? (human nature and all that???) :lol: ......... 2
Popular Post Steve Foran Posted January 25, 2013 Popular Post Posted January 25, 2013 Cant fully understand this. Yes top notch tune in lovely condition, BUT how many on SS own it? Rare yes BUT how many are known to exist.Must be maybe 25/30 in the UK. What would be the press run at the time 300,500? I dont know but when compared to FW or some of the Shrine stuff being discussed on here is it truly rare? I dont know all the answers as I am posing them. Maybe there are only a handful but common sense dictates to me that there are more about?? Bit like all the Frankie Beverleys Because of my heart suddenly coming up for sale. Has a batch on Rouser been found? Like Ted I cant understand the early bidding either. Deep breath, having said all that would love to go for it but not got the cash this month.Good luck to whoever prevails. 4
Pete S Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Probably better for any competitors not to give the impression of being jealous and resentful Jealous? I was asking if the record is now worth more than double what it worth when I was asked to sell it. It wasn't mine anyway so why would I be jealous of whatever price this latest one makes? If I had one of my own and it sold for a low price, then I might be "jealous and resentful". For about 2 minutes. 1
Simsy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 As always a record is worth what you are prepared to pay for it. Got to be 10k plus with that amount of time left? If only we had more dough eh soul source? 1
KevH Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 What's the point on bidding now with ages to go never seen the point of doing this I hope my Acme sniper program works Ted. 1
Dean Rudland Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I've seen this copy and like new doesn't even begin to describe it. I can't imagine that there are too many copies around in this condition. The mint copy on popsike had writing on the label, and an absolutely knackered copy went for a couple of thousand dollars.
Tony Smith Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 A mate of mine got 2 copies of Jack Ashford some years back, both were unplayed, and I know several other copies equally in great condition, one of which I nearly got in a trade but, changed my mind... 1
Dave Pinch Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 jash ashfords probably got a few tucked away
Tony Smith Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 jash ashfords probably got a few tucked away Can you imagine!!!
Popular Post Iancsloft Posted January 25, 2013 Popular Post Posted January 25, 2013 I sold a copy last year to a mate for way less than what it's expected to fetch but hey there's plenty money out there and people willing to pay decent dosh for quality rare records in pristine condition.. Me I like buying rare 45's with a few marks and bit of history for next to nowt LOL 8
Guest Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Bet this is heading for Japan!!!! Nothing wrong with that...and yes there are already copies over here
Guest Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Rare yes BUT how many are known to exist.Must be maybe 25/30 in the UK. John Anderson is well documented as having once had a 'three-figure quantity' of this disc many moons ago. Think Paul Donnelly may have even seen them at the time...I'm sure he will confirm, should he read this thread.
Monkey Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I agree with Steve Foran regards this, and am a little puzzled as to why this has rocketing in value and cred since the 90s. I sold my copy back in the 90s for around 700, I think it actually hung around no buyers for a week or two. Regarding the rarity, there was a fantastic story published in Chris Fletcher's soul source by Gary Rushbrooke 'Detroit is Happening' which touched on this.
Jaco Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Doesn't get any better than this! In some respects the epitome of Northern. Regardless of how many known copies there are, this ought to command a big ticket all day long. 3
Pauldonnelly Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 don;t forget Manny has to deduct 20% vat from the eventual sold figure..

Think Paul Donnelly may have even seen them at the time...I'm sure he will confirm, should he read this thread. Yes John had "quantity" and was always well in with both Jack and Eddie (if you follow his lists from the early days thats why all the new Eddie Parker releases appeared on there too, things like "Dream" etc etc) Steve
Andyg Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I sold a copy last year to a mate for way less than what it's expected to fetch but hey there's plenty money out there and people willing to pay decent dosh for quality rare records in pristine condition.. Me I like buying rare 45's with a few marks and bit of history for next to nowt LOL Think I may know who that is Ian and I told him at the time he'd got a real bargain, and as you said a lot less than some of the prices being branded about on here.
Chas Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Wonder if that nice Mr Manship will be able to sell my signed copy?..It's signed by George Best,but hey! you can't have everything!
Len Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) don;t forget Manny has to deduct 20% vat from the eventual sold figure.. Wouldn’t it be 20% of his 20% commission only? I think that's right, but correct me if I'm wrong. Whichever, the seller will lose 20% of the sale to commission - If the vat paid was 20% of the sold figure, the seller would be losing 40% after the commision, so that can't be right. All the best, Len P.s - Makes me really think about parting with my copy though, as I have a Corporation Tax Bill I can't afford coming my way.... Edited January 25, 2013 by LEN 1
Ady Croasdell Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Last minty one went for £6k I think. It's a bargain at the moment then! 1
Dobber Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 are there many records that go above 5k these days? surely it's only the proven rarities that reach this figure and beyond,might be worth doing a seperate thread on this,just for the vulgarity of it!..haha 1
Sheldonsoul Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 My father in law passed recently so it's all mine lads( then again don't know what the wife will say when's there's a big chunk gone missing) lol 1

Sound a bit dated to my ears but they are collector items ,so good cond shrines are very desirable eh

Scotters Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Any one for a consortium?...one month each a year?! Actually I take that back as still couldn't afford it and even if I could I think I'd still prefer to go out and dance to it now and then...let someone else have the worry of ownership / potential damage when playing it out. Brilliant record and will never forget the first time I heard it, which unlike you lot wasn't actually that many years ago. Ahh but the hundreds of other amazing records to be chased down and enjoyed instead.
